TheWingless: Internet B-list Celebrity

So this Haloid fan movie is storming the internet (and digg, no less) and it prominently features yours truly. I think the movie, considering the budget ($0) and the staff (1) is a staggering achievment. Sure, there are rough spots all over the place, and some of the coreography is fitfully derivative. But on the whole, it's very damn cool, and it's got me in it, so that should seal the deal.

Directors commentary: I had *nothing* to do with the planning, production, or publication of Haloid. Dood evidently liked my music, and put it in the end credits. I'm not entirely sure why he chose that song over a laundry list of better metroid songs (made by me or otherwise), nor am I chipper about the editing he did on said song. But its free publicity, and he had the rare compassion and generosity to list me twice in the credits.

So, enjoy!

pwning blad in fame one move at a time

[The wingless]

hahaha. TAKE THAT WHITEY! for every orchestra that plays your music, I'll get twenty korean kids to make a fan vid with mine!

[Hellcom]

Dammit wingless, you beat by topic by 3 minutes.

[suzumebachi]

again I must ask

why oh why isn't this downloadable?

[Dhsu]

Mmmm...

OBJECTIFICATION++

[Hemophiliac]

that guy used way too much of the Burly Brawl from Matrix Reloaded in it.

very cool otherwise.

[JoeFu]

I watched that video last night, and i was like WHOA WINGLESS! But he used the one metroid song from you that wasn't as good as your other metroid songs, oh well it did fit.

Also, rofl at the ending of that.

Hey wingless the music kicks in at the pseudo lesbo scene.

Comments?

[Shadow Wolf]

I love how he's actually concerned about being able to make a living on animation. I'm sitting in an animation class this very moment with much shittier animators than him that are going to make it just A-OK.

[hamburglar]

I watched this video twice now. It's fucking amazing.

[TCK]

I had a feeling someone was going to make a thread about The Wingless's music in the Haloid trailer, but I didn't expect it to be The Wingless himself. You egomaniac you!

[The wingless]

To be fair, I had all sorts of people online AIM'ing me the link. Doubly hillarious was the inter office realization.

Them "Hey, isn't your name The Wingless when we play games?"

Me, "Yup"

Them "OMG. Ur on the internet tv!"

Me, "BITCH!, go fuck Weng Weng"

[TCK]

I was tempted to PM you about it, but figured you already knew about it somehow. Boy I wasn't wrong.

[The wingless]

My favorite part is that, during the opening credits roll, I'm featured so bloody prominently that if you didn't know about my remixes, you'd think I was in the same league as O'Donnel, Salvatori, Reactor, & Davis. The fact that my name is by itself somehow gives it even more undue importance.

[VGJunky]

Yeah. But hey, you're just cool like that.

[PassivePretentiousness]

"Pretentious" is a better word

[Mustin]

You're so cool, that you don't have to make music with someone else. You can just do it by yourself.

You are amazing.

Incredible.

Incredibly amazing.

I've thought for the last year or so now that Master Chief and Samus Aran should get married. But this wasn't *quite* how I'd envisioned it.

[big giant circles]

Nice work! And kudos! Awesome video.

How do they explain MC's voice then?

[Katsurugi]

and Reuben Kee was mentioned too... why don't you acknowledge him too?!

It's okay, Reuben. I got your back.

[The wingless]

How is Rueben mentioned?

[Hellcom]

Reubenkee is an uberly talented Composer and #1 Mugen Creator. Promise I’ll get to animating that Sexy Robot someday soon!! Can’t wait till your new character comes out!!! http://www.reubenkee.com

10 character'd

[Dark Chocobo]

As the guy says in his comments, that's not Master Chief. That's the female Spartan from DOA 4. She had a cameo role as a playable character.

Looks like there heading to San Francisco... Or The Netherlands.

I liked the video for the most part, but I am getting a little tired of the constant Homages to the Matrix movies, there great movies and all but come on how many times can you beat the same horse before it gets boring?
